Invincible from the sword

Chapter 442 This is a big deal
Don't look at Watanabe as a devil, but in fact, he is terribly afraid of death.

Otherwise, he would not be an engineer captain until now.

Watanabe was quite frightened.

Without saying a word, he retreated into the jungle with his troops.

The whole process is very fast.

Watanabe gave the order to retreat almost instantly.

Facts have proved that Watanabe's order is very correct.

If his troops stayed put, they would have been blasted to pieces by naval guns long ago.

Naval guns!
I drop mom!
It is even more powerful than Sun Monkey's golden cudgel.

Watanabe didn't even bother to eat, so he took his stick soldiers and retreated all the way.

Even so, his troops still suffered heavy casualties.

Almost half of them were killed by naval guns.

As soon as the cannonball went down, the stick soldiers within the range of the explosion were immediately wiped out.

It became a cloud of blood.

Finally, when the opponent's shelling stopped, Watanabe felt a little more at ease.

Send a telegram to the Rabaul base immediately.

The Japanese commander stationed on Rabaul Island was taken aback.

This is a big deal.

So this telegram was uploaded layer by layer.

In the end, it was in the hands of Yamamoto.

After all, it was the ace commander of the Japanese army. After seeing this telegram, Yamamoto's face did not change much.

There was even a sense of relief.

idiot.

Sure enough, the troops of the Lighthouse Country are still attacking Guadalcanal Island.

He calmly asked his chief of staff: "Where are the troops that Shouichi Terauchi promised to reinforce us?"

His chief of staff was having a hard time breathing.

blushing.

Walking on thin ice.

It was his huge mistake that the troops of the Lighthouse State attacked Guadalcanal.

The Chief of Staff of the Japanese Combined Fleet lowered his head cautiously and said to Yamamoto: "Your Excellency, the troops reinforced by Terauchi-kun have already set off from the Dutch East Indies on our warships.

The first batch of troops consisted of a wing led by Commander Kiyonao Ichiki.

Has now reached the distance from Rabaul Island.

However, the waters near Guadalcanal are all warships of the lighthouse country.

Unable to transport Ichiki United to the island. "

an alliance...

Yamamoto's mouth moved.

The strength of an alliance is simply not enough!
Watanabe's telegram said that there were almost [-] soldiers in the lighthouse country's landing force.

Moreover, there are a large number of warships from the Lighthouse Kingdom in the sea area of ​​that area.

There are even several aircraft carriers!

The news is astonishing.

Although Yamamoto has already made sufficient psychological preparations for the troops of the Lighthouse Country.

However, the lighthouse country dispatched such a large-scale fleet, which still surprised Yamamoto.

As for Shouichi's troops in Terauchi, only one regiment has been transported over.

This is simply not enough.

However, if the Ichiki United can regain the airport on the island, there is still hope for regaining the entire Guadalcanal Island.

Yamamoto 56 felt that he had to meet this Kiyoshi Kazuki.

Let his troops fight on the island with the troops of the lighthouse country.

It would be even better if all the lighthouse soldiers on the island could be killed.

In Yamamoto's view, although the Pacific Fleet of the Lighthouse Country is very strong, their ground forces are definitely not very effective.

The soldiers of the Lighthouse Kingdom simply don't have the spirit of Bushido.

So Yamamoto 56 took the space battleship Yamato of the island country, and drove towards Rabaul.

Black smoke billows.

The sound was terrifying.

Because the Yamato is very large, its tonnage is very powerful.

This makes the operation of the gas turbine on the Yamato very laborious.

Almost at full capacity.

Caused the whole machine to vibrate.

There is a possibility of scrapping at any time.

The black chimney on the battleship was bouncing and bouncing because of the pressure of the black smoke.

A little out of breath.

When the black smoke comes out of the chimney, it is in circles.

When the Yamato of Yamamoto 56 was heading for Rabaul Island, Zhang Lei and Stilwell were looking at the map and studying the following battle plan.

The Kangaroo Army in Clark River is retreating rapidly.

Now Stilwell's Sixth Army, the entire logistics supply, is very worrying.

Food is fine.

The main issue is ammunition.

When attacking Birdsville, the three infantry divisions and two armored divisions consumed a lot of ammunition.

The three infantry divisions south of Winton also consumed a lot of ammunition when shelling the Japanese army in Winton.

The current number of shells is only [-] rounds left.

Although the casualties of the Japanese army in Winton were not small, there were two divisions there after all!

Three thousand rounds of shells, if you want to eat two divisions of the Japanese army in one bite, it is possible, but it is too time-consuming.

In this kind of large-scale battle, speed is the most important thing.

Kangaroo Country is different from the East.

It is very difficult for Stilwell's troops to replenish their strength now.

If it takes too long, it is very likely that his Sixth Army will collapse.

The battlefield endurance of the soldiers of the Lighthouse Kingdom is very poor.

If the battle became a protracted one, then a counterattack by the Japanese army might defeat Stilwell's Sixth Army.

So Zhang Lei's idea is to annihilate Winton's Japanese army in the shortest possible time.

In this case, the Japanese army will not have a battlefield advantage in the Kangaroo Country.

According to Edgar's telegram, it will take some time for his troops to take over Douglas' logistical supply task.

At least three days.

In three days, the day lily will be cold.

Just as Zhang Lei was thinking about what to do, Johnson, the commander of the Fifth Infantry Division, sent the latest telegram.

Douglas' troops were captured by the Japanese.

What the hell! ? ? ?
Zhang Lei looked at the telegram with a look of disbelief.

He couldn't help but look at the time, thinking that the telegram was wrong.

Less than half a day had passed since Douglas attacked Winton.

In half a day, Douglas' troops were captured! ?

My day!
Although I know that Douglas' troops will definitely end up like this, but isn't this too fast?

This guy Douglas has [-] troops.

No matter how improper the command is, in Zhang Lei's view, it is still possible to last for three to five days.

Even if there are [-] pigs, the Japanese army will have to catch them for several days, right?

Besides, the firepower of the Japanese army is very rubbish.

The firepower of Douglas' troops is not at the same level at all.

In this case, Douglas was captured in less than half a day.

It just beeped the dog.

Stilwell's face was also stretched.

This fool.

Incompetent bungler.

If Douglas had done the logistics honestly, they might have taken Winton by now!

Falk.

The commander of the Queen's Kingdom really couldn't believe it.

But things have become like this. Although Stilwell is very upset, he has to deal with it.

In any case, he, Stilwell, was the commander of the combined forces.

Now that Douglas's [-] troops have been captured by the Japanese army, he has to find a way to rescue Douglas.

Otherwise, he will be under a lot of pressure.

That's Lao Qiu from Queen's Kingdom, who can give a shit.

At that time, the wheelchair Luo will definitely not be able to hold it.

In this situation, Stilwell didn't dare to hide it, and quickly reported the news that Douglas' troops had been captured by the Japanese army to the Lighthouse Country.

Because Stilwell is now the commander of the joint force of the Kangaroo Country.

Commanded units are all under the Army.

At the same time, Stilwell himself was also the commander of the Lighthouse Army, so his immediate superior was Marshall.

Now Marshall knows her better than the Chief of Staff of the Army.

On an equal footing with Nestor.

Nestor is in charge of the Lighthouse Navy, and Marshall is in charge of the Lighthouse Army.

Marshall, who received Stilwell's telegram, expressed no concern.

On the contrary, there was even a hint of joy and schadenfreude in this guy's heart.

He, Marshall, and Pipe Mike were very close.

Marshall disagreed when Wheelchair Rowe and Nestor slapped Mike off the pipe.

But Luo, unable to hold the wheelchair, was determined.

So Marshall didn't insist too much.

But he has always had opinions on this matter.

Now Douglas' troops were captured by the Japanese army, which was a huge trouble for Stilwell.

No matter what the real situation is, Stilwell is definitely guilty of this blame.

Who made him the commander?
Although Stilwell said in detail in the telegram that Douglas was captured, it was completely his own death.

but.

who cares?
As long as you, Stilwell, are the commander, then you must bear the blame.

If done well, Pipe Mike could once again become the commander of the combined forces of the Kangaroo Nation.

what!
This way he can explain to the bigwigs of the Freemasonry.

Marshall immediately reported the situation to Wheelchair Luo.

The scared wheelchair Luo almost jumped up.

watt?

Douglas captured?
Is this a joke?
They had also received a telegram from Stilwell the night before that a Japanese division had been wiped out at Birdsville.

Why is Douglas's troops captured now?

It's only been less than a day!

Why did the good situation suddenly deteriorate?

Marshall was well-dressed and looked sad on the surface.

Put on shoes for Stilwell: "Old Lun, I didn't say that, I don't quite agree with letting Stilwell be the commander.

His command ability is okay.

But he and that Zhang Lei got too close.

He almost worshiped Zhang Lei.

this is too scary.

He must not forget that he is the commander of the lighthouse country.

And that Zhang Lei was just a regiment commander of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the troops commanded by Zhang Lei fought many battles with the Japanese army, how big can a regiment commander fight?

Is it planted in the area?

Now that Douglas is captured by the Japanese army, we have to think about how to explain to Lao Qiu in the Queen's Kingdom.

Now the situation in Europe is already a bit of a clue.

Su State withstood Da Da State's attack.

And now they are still sending troops to the bearded Grad.

But Dazhong is a bit unsustainable.

I reckon that Dazhong is about to suffer a big fall in Bearded Grad. "
